COAL HEATER DESCRIPTION: E.P.A. Compliance
Fuel Selection
The CS-85 Cut-Away System:
Basket , The sidewalls and back of the coal basket are constructed of durable firebrick and sup-
ported with cast-iron liners. The floor of the coal basket is made of a heavy-duty cast-iron shaker
grate. All of these components may be easily removed through the loading doors.
The combustion air is heated as it runs through cast-iron grate system of the heater and upward
to the cast-iron baffles. The air simultaneously cools the front panels of the coal basket before it is
directed under the grate.
The grate does not overheat because the combustion air continuously cools it. The same principle
is applied to the front wall of the coal basket, which is constructed of steel, and 1400°F. Glass-
ceramic.
